The Imp act of the Family Farm in a
Mega-Size d World
By Dawn Oaks
Whether the search is
for fast food, employment opportunities, or a
home church for our
family, society today
surely sends the
message “Bigger Is Better.” If biggie
sizing everything is really the answer,
does the small family farm still have
value to offer to our society? Our
family would answer with a SuperSized “YES!”
Like many families, my
husband and I felt the yearning to
return to our roots. We moved to a
more rural location and began
what many would consider hobby
farming or homesteading. After
some job transitions, we found
God calling us to begin
farming as an occupation.
However, the call wasn’t
simply to produce food to be
put into the mainstream
food sources of our nation.
Our hearts were moved to
Mixing feed to naturally
nourish our animals
